‘Artificial Sun’ Reactor Completed

by BBelew57 on March 1st, 2007

China has completed construction of its Star Maker - The Experimental Advanced Super conducting Tokamak (EAST) fusion reactor.

The Chinese Academy of Sciences has received state ratification, use of funds, operational management and data authenticity.

The group successfully generated an electrical current of 250 kilo amperes in five seconds. I think our sun is a bit stronger..but..

"The Institute of Plasma Physics spent eight years and 200 million yuan (25 million U.S. dollars) building the experimental reactor."

The United States, the European Union, the Republic of Korea, Russia, Japan and India are cooperating with about 2,000 Chinese researchers engaged in studying thermonuclear fusion.

Do you think it is possible to create and 'artificial sun?'

It seems kind of 'out there' to me.
